• S5E2 - Hallin Fell
    Sep 25 2024

    Wainwright wrote that the rich rewards of Hallin Fell’s summit are “out of all proportion to the slight effort of ascent” and he was spot on.

    Topped with one of the finest cairns you’re ever likely to see, this modest hill manages to stand out amongst its loftier neighbours from a prime position on the edge of Ullswater and we love it.

    Join us as we relive a day of ice-riddled roads, endless autumn colours and a deep dive - of sorts - into the not-so-secret identity of Steel Knotts.

  • S5E1 - Scafell Pike (via the Corridor Route)
    Aug 21 2024

    After some time away from the fells while life became quite busy, we wanted to kick off Series Five with a bang and what better way than by heading to the top of the country?

    While we’ve already had ourselves a Scafell Pike episode, the Corridor Route is a completely different adventure and one we’ve wanted to do for quite some time.

    It was a huge day - which also took in Lingmell and Great End - and it’s a joy to be back sharing it with you all in a bumper episode.

    Enjoy!

  • S4E10 - Mellbreak
    Dec 27 2023

    We like to end a run of episodes on a high, and Mellbreak is exactly that having fast become one of our favourite walks.

    One of the more aesthetically pleasing fells in the Lakes, it also lends itself to a classic Wainwright quote that sums up just how good it looks sitting next to Crummock Water.

    Join us for the Series Four finale as we relive a stunning day on the hills and discuss all things 2024 as we look ahead to new adventures and more group walks.

  • S4E9 - Lingmoor Fell
    Dec 13 2023

    While it was a day that came together quite hastily, our jaunt up Lingmoor Fell and around Cathedral Quarry was comfortably one of our favourites so far.

    Both would make great adventures on their own but why not combine the two?

    Join us as we relive the highlights of an outing absolutely full of them - from Blea Tarn to huge caves, the Langdales and one of the Lake District’s most iconic bridges, there’s plenty to discuss.

  • S4E8 - Carrock Fell
    Nov 22 2023

    Our listeners’ choice walks have so far seen us venture up St Sunday Crag and spend a morning rambling round the Langdale Pikes - so the bar was high.

    Thankfully, the streak continued as our jaunt across Carrock Fell and High Pike exceeded all expectations.

    Join us as we discuss two of the Lake District’s most interesting summits, try and outdo Wainwright’s way with words, and revisit a talking point from earlier in the series that sees one of us get some sweet, sweet redemption.

  • S4E7 - Kirkstone Pass to Pooley Bridge
    Oct 25 2023

    It’s our longest walk of the series today as we take on ten Wainwrights in an A to B from Kirkstone Pass to Pooley Bridge.

    We’ve got cloud inversions, mega cairns, flying ants and summit wrestling - there’s a bit of everything going on.

    Join us as we relive an outing with plenty of highs and a smattering of lows, while we’ve also got a pretty big announcement…

  • S4E6 - Loughrigg Fell
    Oct 4 2023

    While Loughrigg Fell was the first stop on our Ambleside to Keswick venture, we felt like it needed its own episode.

    It was also the perfect opportunity to explore Rydal Cave, which thankfully doubled as a shelter from the rain…

    Join us on our latest group walk as we do a deep dive into a hill Wainwright considered to be “pre-eminent” with a “wealth of interests and delights” - what’s not to love?

  • S4E5 - Sale Fell & Ling Fell
    Sep 13 2023

    It’s been a while since our last sunset outing, with Sale Fell and Ling Fell being the perfect pair for such a jaunt.

    Thankfully, it was worth the wait.

    Join us as we discuss building our own cairn, the turmoil of a post-work traffic jam and why this modest duo might just be the Ready Salted crisps of the Wainwrights.
